Why a Fern Blog from La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica?

I live in the middle of a magnificent rainforest in Costa Rica, surrounded by an amazing diversity of plants and animals. Although I am a biologist, most of my work these days is administrative.

A couple of years ago, two fern biologist friends (Robbin Moran and Eddie Watkins) got me started on a fern collection to help keep me connected to the forest. This back-yard hobby now encompasses more than 30 genera of native La Selva ferns. I have also started a research project, monitoring the production and longevity of fronds of three different fern species in the forest.

We have prepared a series of YouTube video segments on various fern-related subjects and we will post one every week.
